Alright thanks. But this store is one that's not a Walmart that I will avoid saying to protect myself, it's a store in my mall with scanners at the entrance. There's like a 6 foot gap between the scanner and the walls on each side. Will the scanners detect me from that far away if I walk at the far end of this gap?

usually its company policy whether they will apprehend, or stop your or not. This is for target though, if you activate the beeper, and you stole something, quickly do a powerwalk, or run, only chance. if its in a mall entrance, its even better, you can disappear in the mall, and its piratically difficult to catch you at all.
never go near the entrance when they are kids, they tend to alert other people loudly.

Rule 1: No moralizing. Nobody cares or wants to hear your personal judgements against stealing. Keep it to yourself. You will be permanently banned.

Rule 2: No bigotry. We will not tolerate any comments that support racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc. - see the w/terms_of_service

Rule 3: Stay on topic. This forum is about appropriating capital from retailers and nothing else. People that rip off regular working people aren't welcome on this site.

Rule 4: Do not share or solicit personal information. It should go without saying, but what we do is illegal, so you should never reveal anything linking your account on this forum to your real identity. Posts asking for shoplifting partners, or posts asking to buy/sell stolen goods are not allowed, as these could be attempts by police officers or moral crusaders to doxx shoplifters.

Be cautious of attempts by cops to incriminate you. People asking you to send them illegal information like credit card numbers should be reported in f/meta. Raddle is not the darknet; trading illegal info here isn't safe.
